@puschkinia I don't think either the Verbascums or the Nerines will like competition. Nerine bulbs like to feel the heat of the sun to flower. I also grow Salvia Caradonna, the stems are beautiful and upright. Agree with other comments you need a wider border to extend the season. You could take out some of the Erigeron but that would be a shame and since it will flower all summer counter productive.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
I think Verbena bonariensis was a good call, you want something that will grow up through the Erigeron, and will not either smother it, or be smothered by it. So that means a vertical sort of plant without big basal leaves.
"What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbour".
Thanks so much for the great tips everyone. This has been really helpful
I love verbena and echinops. I'll go with those I think. I'll widen the border to fit them in - a great opportunity to remove more of our weedy lawn, or, "wildflower meadow" 😉
